i can then compare the width with the e36 evo axle i have here.
there's no urgency, just next time one of you guys have got both of the back wheels off
(p.s. need it measured with out the wheels on)
thanks in advance.

If no one can help with this one, might be worth asking your freindly local dealer.
Failing that, if you call Barons BMW in Ash Vale and ask for a chap called Steve Ticknell, he's the most unbelievably helpful techy person there and he might be willing to help.
He pointed me in the right direction when I was trying to get my 3.2L M3 engine going outside of it's native environment
Good luck!
EDIT> might be Simon Ticknell thinking about it. Ask whoever answers the phone I guess, his surname's definately Ticknell

Had the rears off this week end to clean inside them, check brakes etc. Measured across the axle, wheel mounting flange to wheel mounting flange with the car supported on axle stands at the beam ends.
I used two steel rules and measured as close to the axle line as possible below and to the rear of the diff at about the 4 oclock position looking from the left of the car towards the right, in a straight line between the two steel rules parallel to the floor (phew). The measurement I got was 1451mm. You will need to allow a bit of variation to allow for camber variation etc but hopefully this will be close enough.
